Gotti which horsepital were you at? I’m at Peninsula in Burlingame.
It turns out I dislocated my fibula and fractured it. I didn’t know you could dislocate your ankle bone thingy.
And they re-did my ECG and it was normal. I have not had a giant heart attack without noticing, so yay for that. 
My foot is all numb still from surgery, so at the moment, I’m enjoying being pain free and having room service. Ok I’m stretching that. I’ll take it anyway. :o

Blurf! Final day of exams today and I had four special sits…only two of my invigilators showed up so my first job of the day was to run around looking for staff members who could fill in until I could get someone else in to do the job. It’s not good when you have that much drama in the first half hour at work.
It is all bright and shiny outside and I am stuck in the office entering exam marks. Life is not being fair today but on the plus side it’s Friday and the next two days don’t involve the office.
Butters, do you have a delicate head today? It looks like you might have…I recommend ginger beer and some good solid stodgy food.
My second is Charles Dickens
[QUOTE=The Pickwick Papers]
“Sawyer,” said the scorbutic youth in a loud voice.
“Well, Noddy,” replied Mr. Bob Sawyer.
“I should be very sorry, Sawyer,” said Mr. Noddy, “to create any unpleasantness at any friend’s table, and much less at yours, Sawyer–very; but I must take this opportunity of informing Mr. Gunter that he is no gentleman.”
“And I should be very sorry, Sawyer, to create any disturbance in the street in which you reside,” said Mr. Gunter, “but I’m afraid I shall be under the necessity of alarming the neighbors by throwing the person who has just spoken out o’ window.”
“What do you mean by that, sir?” inquired Mr. Noddy.
“What I say, sir,” replied Mr. Gunter.
“I shall like to see you do it, sir,” said Mr. Noddy.
“You shall feel me do it in half a minute, sir,” replied Mr. Gunter.
“I request that you’ll favor me with your card, sir,” said Mr. Noddy.
“I’ll do nothing of the kind, sir,” replied Mr. Gunter.
“Why not, sir?” inquired Mr. Noddy.
“Because you’ll stick it up over your chimney-piece, and delude your visitors into the false belief that a gentleman has been in to see you, sir,” replied Mr. Gunter.
“Sir, a friend of mine shall wait on you in the morning,” said Mr. Noddy.
“Sir, I’m very much obliged to you for the caution, and I’ll leave particular directions with the servant to lock up the spoons,” replied Mr. Gunter.

Up for the second and final time today. Taz was really really really thirsty in the stupid dark hours. I got tired of him jumping on the door trying to get in and about 4, I opened the bedroom door and turned on the sink. At that point **FCD **got up to empty his bladder, and when he flushed, that woke Higgs. She kept fussing, so about 4:30, I gave up and got up to let her out.
When she came back in, I lay down on the couch and tried to get her to join me - not too successfully. Then I tried the recliner, and she eventually settled on the footrest. Taz tried lying across my chest with copious amount of furry cat in my face - not gonna happen. He finally decided to curl up on the afghan draped over the other half of the recliner (it’s a loveseat) and thus all 3 of us fell asleep.
About 6:30, **FCD **turned on the shower, and that was that. I’m up, showered, and breakfasted. Higgs has been out again and fed, and Taz is still curled up on the afghan. I could have slept another couple of hours had I been undisturbed, but since I woke, that was that.
Today’s plans: empty the dishwasher and run the vacuum. That won’t fill the day, but it’s a start. Theoretically, the rain is done and we might see sun in time for sunset. A nicer weekend is ahead. And also theoretically, we’ll be doing the deal on the bike today. It will be nice to get it out of the garage, and even tho **FCD **came down in price a bit so the buyers can replace the tires, we still stand to make a profit on an investment (purchase) we made in December - that’s not bad. Just waiting on a phone call.
Thus endeth the week. Happy Firday!!
Happy Firday!
It looks wet and icky outside.
I don’t know what is wrong with the internet here but my puter doesn’t want to stay connected.
So irk this morning, then to the doctor and then back home. If I can fit it in, a trip to the bank to get my trust notarized. I’d like to be out of here before 3 so we can miss the traffic. I’ve already picked up my meds and the truck is gassed up and ready to go.
Up, caffeinated, off work today. It’s 63 and cloudy. Bleh. I slept in till 7:30, not the day feels wasted.
Cats, when I read that I mentally substitute “Flytrap” for “Mr. Noddy”.
Good luck on the trek ,sari.
EVERYBODY TRY TO BE QUIET, BUTTERS HAS A HANGOVER
I have a big old achy head this morning. I am still pissed too. I actually met the stupidest person on Earth yesterday. He is a vendor. I sign the contracts and can easily drop him but because I am a glutton for punishment and like a challenge I am going to attempt to reason with him. Those video cameras would have come in handy yesterday.
I guess I am naive as I did not know such stupidity existed.
**Butters *- how long have you worked for and around the gummint that you don’t know mega-stupidity exists?? One contractor that I temped for was known for saying "I know what the FAR says but you have to understand the *intent *and not worry about the letter of the law." Um, no, it’s the law, so the letter is pretty important. Which would explain why that particular contractor had to lay off half its workforce and they just lost a big contract to the company where **FCD **is working now. Stupidity, plain and simple, with a little arrogance and laziness on the side.
Just unloaded and started reloading the dishwasher, vacuumed throughout (except for the guest bedrooms) including under the couch cushions, and I’ve put the newly acquired sheers for the dining room in the washer for a quick rinse before I attempt to press and hang them. I’m kinda hoping a tumble in the dryer will negate the pressing requirement. Meanwhile, I need to take down the current sheers - the ones that are torn, snagged (damned kittehs,) and bloodstained (OK, that was from me…) I’m replacing white with ecru - I’m betting **FCD **won’t even notice the difference in color.
Trying to decide how badly I want to work in my studio. Not so much today.
- Federal Acquisition Regulations - the Bible of buying everything from pencils to aircraft carriers. It’s part of the reason you hear about $600 hammers - requirements can be ridiculously stringent for things that don’t matter that much, and apparently no one cares enough to fix it.

My dad apparently ordered (or at least reserved) train tickets for himself and my sister and I, last night. I’m not entirely sure how it works when someone orders tickets for more than one person, as I’ve only ordered them for myself before. I just hope this trip will work out and that everyone will enjoy it, after all the stress of preparation.
I need to work on writing music today.

Sorry, Butters! I didn’t mean to wake you!
I had to put a chair in front of the window. Somebody was barking his head off at the guys doing maintenance on the pool. I can’t wait till the bushes grow back enough to block his view.
